Contemplating the beauty of the earth.

Creation, if we look closely reflects something of the goodness and glory of God.  As Rachel Carson declares, "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserve of strength that will endure as long as life lasts".


When you take in the vast storehouse of natural beauty in the forest, trees, high hills, and mountaintops, what is Creation saying to you about our Creator?  What is our Creator saying to you through Creation?

The mountains have stood firm through the ages.  What are the rocks in your life that help you to stand firm?


Streams can refresh and nourish.  Where do you find refreshment and nourishment for your journey?


Psalm 18:2New Living Translation

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;
    my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
He is my shield, the power that saves me,
    and my place of safety.

John 7:38 English Standard Version

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’
